Tlie Word Selab.
. The translatofs'dT the Bible" have left
the Hebrew word Selah, which occurs so
often in the Psalms, as they found it, and
of course the English reader often asks
his minister,, or learned Jriend, what it
means. And the minister or. learned friend
has most often been obliged to confess ig
norance, because it is a matter in regard
to which the most lear ned have by no means
been of one mind. The Targums, and most
of the Jewish commetatators, give to the
word the meaning of 'eternally, forever.'
Rabbi Kimchi .Tegards U as a sign to el
evate the voice.; The authors of the Sep
tuajint translation appear to have regar
ded it as a musical .or "rythmical note.
Henler regarded it as indicating a change
of note. Mathewson as a musical note
equivalent, perhaps: to the word repeat
According to Luther and others, it mean3
silence.' Gesenius explains it to ; mean
'Let the instruments play and the singers
step." .Wocher regards it as equivalent
to 'Sursum corda up my soul! Sommer
after examining alt the seventy-four pas
saes in which the word occurs, ' recog
nizes in every case "an actual: appeal or
summons to Jehovah." They are calls
for aid and prayers to be hearcf, expres
sed either with entire directness or if not
in the imperative. "Hear Jehovah !" or
Awake Jehovah ! and the like still ear
nest address to God that he would remem
ber and hear. etc. The word itself he
regards as indicating a blast of the trum
pets by the priest. ' Selah itself, he thinks
an abridged expression, used for Higgaion
Selah Higgaion indicating the sound o
the stringed instruments, and Selahavig
orous ulast of trumpets. -Biblothcca Sa

more people in Rochester that, had they
their deserts, would be in Auburn, than
anv other citv in the Union. The latter
speaker was endorsed by his companions
and other remarks 'not quite as comph

once, a short, very thin-faced man, rose
up indignantly, and stated that they had
better hold up that he wastrom Koches

retired.. The much astonished Roches

Slarrlage License.
A license to marry is often wanted when
it can't be had, but a poor pne is better
than none, when a man is in a hurry viz.
namely, to-wit, the following:
"In the early days of Texan indepen
dence anu youth, an eccentric genius, still
living and reismin'r. was clerk' of one
of the western counties. The village 'was
quite secluded in the prairies,' and the
squire pastured his cows on the broad
acres around, bringing them home at night,
and letting them go to grass in the morn
ing, lie kept a bell on one of them to
help him in finding them ; but one morn
ing, as he was letting them loose, he per
ceived that the clapper of the bell was lost
out, and, being unable to find it," he made
a substitute by. making fast his own office
key. Not till he had feached the office
did it occur to him that he should want
the key, but now finding himself locked
out,' he betook himself to other matters,
proposing to recover the key at night.
About noon a rough-and-ready young Tex
an, in buckskin dress, came riding into
town.inquiredfor the clerk and scared him
up; and asked for a license.
Sorry I can't accommodate you to-day,
but it's no go.'
Why not? . I'm going to be spliced
to-night, and I must have it whether or
no.1 - ". :
'Bat (he fact is, said the clerk, 'my of
fice is locked up, and my cow has gone
away with the key !'
'lhe cow! what does the cow want
with the key?'
So the old fellow told the whole story,
and the two set off for the prairie to find
the cattle and get the key. But the more
they looked the less they found, and final
ly had to give it up. A bright thought
struck the clerk of the county
.I'll fix you out I' said he, and Young
Texas jumped a rod, so tickled was he to
know that he was to be fixed out of the fix
he was in.' They proceded to a' store
by the office, and there the county scribe
inaiica tne ronowing :
Republic of Texas : To whom all shall
see. this present, greeting: Whereas I,
the undersigned, clerk of this county, hav
ing unthoughtedly tied my( office key as a
clapper into my cow's bell; and whereas
the said cow has gone astray to parts un
known, bearing' with her the said key,
and therefore the said key is non xnven
tus est that is, can't be had ; And where
a3, one Abner Barnes has made applica
tion to me for a marriage license, and the
said Abner persists" that he cannot wait
until the cow comes back with the key, but
I, . i , . , , . .
is compeueq Dy me violence or nis reel
ings and the arrangements already made,
to get married : Therefore, these pres
ents are to command any person legally
authorized to "celebrate the rites of mat
rimony to join the said Abner Barnes to
Rebecca Downs; and, for doing so this shall
be your sufficient authotity.
Given under. my hand and private seal
on the doorsfep'cf my office the seal of
